Opiniyon.com summarizes Twitter in real timeGreetings everybody,

We are proud to present the updated version of Opiniyon.com. At this web site, we monitor what people tweet about popular things on Twitter and then summarize them in real time so that you can read thousands of tweets about trending topics in less than a minute.

We track tv shows, box office movies, actors, musicians, sport teams. Not only that, we also monitor events like sport matches as well as Syria Crisis. In short, we summarize Twitter in real time (Ok, not all of it for the record, at least for now).

When you come to our site, you can read tweet summaries of a movie, say, Riddick, from the last 24 hours. You can even check Opiniyon.com while watching Breaking Bad and keep track of what people are saying about it right at that moment.

Please visit us at Opiniyon.com and don't forget to tell your friends about it.

Our new project : Opiniyon.comWe like to introduce our new project at Opiniyon.com. It is a website where you will find opinions about anything that are posted by people on the Internet. We collect what people said about things and automatically process them in order to detect what people have been talking most recently. We present the positive and negative thoughts in short report at Opiniyon.com.

Currently, we start with monitoring opinions on the Twitter about movies and actors involving in the Oscars 2013. We will soon start to track opinions about box office movies and tv shows. Since Twitter is our main source, our content is updated every 10 minutes or so. Now, we show statistics from the last 6 hours, 24 hours and 7 days. Some of our statistics are quite intersting. For example, do you know which movie made most people cry within the last week? Or which actor was seen by most people in their dreams? Answers are at Opiniyon.com.

This is just a beginning. Please join us at Opiniyon.com and help us spread the word.

It is a great honour and joy to announce that Newzie project became the part of the Ziemantics LLC along with our other projects as of now. Ziemantics LLC, the company, was found in the August of 2007 in Delaware by Arda Celebi, who is a computer engineer and the lead developer of the Newzie project, as well as Ziepod, Feedzie.com, and Zietag projects developed at the Ziemantics Labs.

We believe being a part of a company means a lot. Like every company, Ziemantics has high goals to accomplish, in order to provide you the best. Newzie will be part of that plan and will gain strength from every part of this new born company.

We like you to visit www.ziemantics.com to learn more about Ziemantics LLC and our goals. Hope you like the vision we have in mind and support our company by mentioning it to your friends, readers and listeners.

In addition to this great announcement, we have one more in line. We are about to release a brand new project next week, which will be the fifth active project developed by Ziemantics and will be the biggest of all projects. Wanna hint? It is a web-based platform where people can share their thoughts and ideas with everybody in such a way that you may have never seen it before. It will be a free public service and everybody can make use of it. Sure, it will be the first of its kind on the Internet. Hope you like it.

What about Newzie? At the Ziemantics Labs, we are currently at the design stage of a web-based news reader, which we will hook it up with Newzie. We believe it will be a great project on its own and power up the Newzie project.

Have a great weekend,

Version 0.99.9 of Newzie releasedhttp://blog.newzie.com/index.php?postid=070224061705
Wed, 28 Feb 2007 18:11:21 +0000http://blog.newzie.com/index.php?postid=070224061705Posts may include images that you may not like to see, such as images used to present advertisement. Newzie comes with a feature that enables you to block those unwanted images. For more details, check out http://blog.newzie.com.
On the way to the 'Version One', we are at 0.99.9 and this release includes one of the most important milestones in the devolopment cycles of Newzie as it is now a portable application, which means that you can carry your Newzie along with your portable storage medium, such as an USB hard drive, and use it in any windows machine you come accross.

Other than this neat portability feature, this release also includes security enhancements, various performance improvements to let you subscribe to more feeds by using less system resources, and a new way of viewing retrieved content. And, of course, there are things that we extracted as well, namely bugs. We squashed many bugs, including the one that preventing Newzie running on new Windows Vista OS, and we are grateful for our dedicated Newzie users who reported those anomalies and helped us detect them. Many thanks goes to these people.

Before getting into the detail, we like to thank to everybody who shared their experience with us and sent feedback and suggestions to make Newzie better. Since we are mostly focused on reaching to the 'Version One', new features may not answer your requests but we sure have a long list of features waiting to be added after the 'Version One'

Below, we briefly touched on the concepts behind this release and a short note about the version 1.0:

Neat portability feature

By making use of new portability feature, you will be able to stay connected to your favorite feeds from any computer you can find. What can you do with portable Newzie? Here are what we had in mind while developing this feature:

1) If you have multiple computers and a flash disk or some medium that you can keep your Newzie stored inside and play it from there, then you don't need to install your Newzie for each computer you have. Just keep it on the storage medium and then run it from any Windows-based computer you can find.

2) If you are formating your computer or simply want to backup your data for any case, you can copy all Newzie environment into another place and use it whenever you want without losing a bit of information.

3) You can install Newzie for each windows account on your computer or even keep multiple instances in one account. Both cannot be done with previous versions.

Keep in mind that we prepared a tutorial about things you need to consider and be aware of before starting to use this neat feature. Check [ How-to: Portability ] tutorial to learn more.

Security enhancements

Feeds you subscribe to may lead to security issues if some fancy scripts are embedded into the content. Based on this fact, we included a new feature to the Newzie package. New version checks retrieved content for thousands of cases that may lead to security issues and removes them if there is any. Hence, you should feel more secure while using this latest version.

Title bar and Two-column content listing

Till the newest version, Newzie is very good at presenting retrieved content in html-based pages but not that much good at showing them in conventional listing like your email client lists your emails. New title bar and two-column listing mode will fill that lack and enable you to access retrieved posts in better and easier way than ever.

Shown above, new Title Bar is located at the top of listed posts and shows the title of focused feed along with filter options at the right handside of the bar. By using these, you will be able focus on specific type of posts, such as listing just new posts or flagged ones. That type of selective view allows you to reach what you want to see quickly.

Another new feature is the two-column view of listed posts. While this new view lists more posts in more compact way, as it uses the whole panel vertically to show the content of focused post, in most of the cases you don't need to scroll down to see the whole content of that focused post. as can be seen in the sample screenshot above.

While approaching to the Version 1.0

This release is especially important to make Newzie more bug-free and stable before getting to the 'Version 1.0' We removed many bugs in all shapes and sizes as you can tell by checking the raw release notes of this release. We will release couple of more clearance-oriented releases before releasing the version 1.0.

At this point, your feedback is the most valuable information for us. Do you know that you can send your feedback in a second by using Newzie? Just use 'ALT+F' key combination (which is a new keyboard shortcut coming with the new release) to access 'Newzie Feedback Window' and enter your feedback before clicking 'Send' button. Send whatever message you like to say and we will answer your questions and welcome your suggestions. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

If you already have Newzie installed, make sure that you first uninstall your existing one and then reinstall the new one. Keep in mind that you will not loose any information during this process.
